LEADERSHIP FOR STUDENTS

Leadership of the EAA is not limited to only alumni. A strong student perspective is crucial for the EAA’s continued growth. Students can take on a variety of leadership roles. Questions or to get involved – email us.

Apply for the Student Ambassador Program

The Student Ambassador Program is open to all current UIC Engineering Students and is described below.

Committee roles come with less daily responsibilities as the Ambassador Program, but allow for students to shape the EAA’s programs and outreach. There are several committees, and students can help on any committee.

Join as an Officer or Board Member-at-Large

Board and Officer positions may require UIAA dues (however, this can vary for students). These positions are the highest level of leadership in the EAA. It is not uncommon for the Board to actively solicit outstanding students to serve as board members.

STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The EAA Student Ambassador Program in an opportunity for high-achieving engineering students to be involved with the EAA’s upper leadership. Selected students will serve for one academic year, working directly with the EAA Student Engagement Committee, and may also be invited to attend Board Meetings and participate in other leadership roles. Ambassadors will have a unique role in growing student membership, while assisting in developing alumni and outreach events. Details can be found here.

MENTOR PROGRAM

Coming Soon! This will be an informal relationship between students and alumni to answer questions students have about academic and career paths, life after graduation, and begin building a network for students. If you’d like to be kept informed of this program and when it becomes available, email us and ask to be given updates on the Mentoring Program.
